Rising Stars: cellist Petar Pejčić

Rising Stars

In the Rising Stars series, the stars of the future present themselves with personally and distinctively curated programs. The musicians, selected by leading European concert halls, also make a stop in the Kleine Zaal during their star tour of the most prestigious stages. No evening is the same: every dream program is unique and sounds different. Moreover, every Rising Star surprises with a brand-new work. What connects all the musicians is their distinctly individual voice and their fresh perspective on the music. The concerts are performed in one continuous arc of tension, without an intermission.

Petar Pejčić

Petar Pejčić grew up in a musical family and took up the cello at the age of four in his hometown of Belgrade. Over the past seasons, he has made a major impression on major stages, and with his passion to make classical music accessible to a broad audience, he dedicates himself to volunteer projects and interdisciplinary collaborations. As a Rising Star, Pejčić pays homage to the legendary cellist Mstislav Rostropovich: For Slava! Every piece on this program is directly connected to Rostropovich, the visionary Russian, without whom the history of the cello would have looked very different.
